[PlayBook] Sort-order of "MyWorld", "Update all" and notifications

One of the things that bugs me when using the App World on my PlayBook is the fact, that when the "My World" tab features updates, I have to scoll through the whole list to see which Apps got updates and apply them.
Would be much better if they were on top of the list just like on Android 2.2+ devices because it's much usable interface.
Also, an "Update all" button is missing. Because there are no automatic notifications that tell you (without opening the App World App) that there new updates available, it's possible that you only check for updates once a week or less frequent. Then when you check, there are so many updates that clicking those update-buttons makes you angry (or at least annoyed .
So three things an update of the App World on the PlayBook should cover:
1) display Apps in My World that got updated on top of the list,
2) check for updates in the background and notify the user via notifications and
3) add an "Update all" button to click one instead of ten buttons.

Did anyone think about the update all button?
It's still missing in OS 2 but after just having to approve some updates, it continues to be one of the things that would be nice to have

Is there any way to stop an app from updating? I accidently hit update all, and have an app I don't want updated.

Is there any way to stop an app from updating? I accidently hit "update all" and have an app i don't want updated. Thanks

you can't reverse the process, once you accepted there is no other way, if you sync it to your itunes library in your computer it will automatically update the updated app as well.
What you can try though is delete the app from your iPad and try syncing it to your itunes library but if you set up iCloud it may update the app automatically

TS1702 Thanks. I had 6 Apps that needed updating on my iPad original. I hit "Update All" and that ruined four Apps. They won't download the updates, nor will they launch and be useable either. I lost Splashtop 2, Bible!, and Mercury Browser! Suggestio

Am I the only fool who clicked on update all when my iPad told me updates were available? Two updates loaded just fine, but the other four never updated and now lie useless and grayed out. I had 6 Apps that needed updating on my iPad original. I hit "Update All" and that ruined four Apps. They won't download the updates, nor will they launch and be useable either. I lost Splashtop 2, Bible!, and Mercury Browser! Suggestions?! I don't want to ruin my access to Splashtop 2 for sure.

I fixed it by going through a few steps using iTunes while hooked to my computer.

I have 51 apps that were indicated need for updating. Clicked update all and now there is only a very slow progression thru the apps. Why so slow? Should apps be updated one at a time?

I have 51 apps that needed updating. I clicked update all and then they began to very slowly update. Very slow. Is this usual? Should I update one app at a time and do I really need to do all this updating all the time? It's time consuming or am I doing something wrong?

51 apps is a lot, it could take time. It also depends on the local network and how busy it is. Many users have complained today that they can access contacts, calendars, and/or email - maybe there are server problems right now (and today is the big Apple announcements, so things may be in flux).
When I have a lot of apps to update, I do it using iTunes on my mac.

Sorting order for Highlights, Shadows, Whites and Blacks controls.

I absolutely love the new set of controls as compared to the similar options in LR3. With just these 6 controls and a few seconds I can get my image looking great. One thing is making me crazy though, the four controls are logically sorted "Whites, Highlights, Shadows, Blacks" in terms of the range that they impact. If the controsl were sorted as I suggested, I would be able to think through the problem of fixing a particular image more efficiently.
Has this been discussed or considered?

I should add, with only four items in question, putting the two you are most likely to use slightly closer together will result in little gained efficiency. Having them sorted in a manner that is easier to teach, learn and internalize will likely lead to better results for a larger percentage of users.
Further, if they were sorted in the manner I suggest, it would be possible to further strengthen the understanding of how the features work by showing a color curve overlay on the histogram. This would make it even easier for folks to understand how these six abstract controls affect the image.
It sounds like there is a mix of rational and reactive pushback to this approach from the vocal audience on this forum. I would be very interested to see how the two compared in blind lab studies with participants of comparable experience. (Including new and existing users... I would like to think that Adobe is saavy enough to realize that it is important to court new users if they want to grow their customer base and profit opportunity.)
If there's one thing we can pull from this whole discussion, it's that there's no way for Adobe to make everyone happy on this issue. There just isn't. Some people absolutely hate that the sliders are ordered as the are in LR4b, others seem to think it makes perfect sense. Both are adamant in their stance. So now it becomes this whole over-blown issue of," What percentage of users like it this way compared to that way." I'm sorry, but I just don't understand why it's such a big deal. Is it that hard to use the controls in the order that Adobe placed them in LR4b. Really? Is it? Is it really that slow for you high-volume photographers out there? Is it really something that you won't completely get used to in all of a few hours of using LR4?
The current sort order of the sliders in LR4b is not necessarily just an order-of-operations that is being thrust upon Lightroom users. The rationale is that the controls follow an order which, in most cases for most photographs, flows from the most global adjustments to the most specific. It's more than just an arbitrary ordering based on "what Adobe says we ought to do first".
The truth is, while I understand Adobe's reasoning here, I really don't care what order the sliders end up in. Why? Because it really doesn't matter all that much, at all. I mean, think about it. Let's say that the current order of the sliders in LR4b makes it to the final version. Are users going to keep using Lightroom 3 in protest? No. Are users going to keep all their photos in PV2010 expressly because they simply can't handle the order of the sliders in PV2012? No. The reason that nobody will go to such lengths is that it's reallly just not that important. This is an exceptionally minor issue of personal preference that has less weight and importance than the hard drive space at Adobe used to store all of the threads that have popped up in complaint of the slider order.
I know that everyone vehemently arguing against the current slider order will whole-heartedly disagree... but I simply had to put in my two-cents. The issue of slider order is so miniscule that I cannot fathom why so much has already been written about it.
EDIT*****
An afterthought...
Really? "Blind lab studies" to scientifically determine what order to put LR4 sliders in? C'mon guys... you've got to be kidding me...

Sorting Order of XML Deposit Advices and Checks

Does anyone know how we can customize the sorting of XML Deposit Advices and Checks ? At present it default sorts on Organization,Person. we would like to sort on Location,Person.
Any help will be appreceated.
Regards,

1. Try to do it in db itself.
2. If that is not possible, then specify the sort order in RTF like
<?for-each:GROUP?>
<?sort:SEGMENT1;'ascending';data-type='number'?> -- Not sure if its Varchar or Number. Change the data type accordingly
<?sort:LAST_NAME;'ascending';data-type='text'?>
<?sort:FIRST_NAME;'ascending';data-type='text'?>
Do check if the performance is not affected by this.

Incorrect Sort Order - On Home Page - News and Announcements

On the Company sub-pages "News and Announcements" the sort order is correct. The most recently added News or Announcements is at the top of the list sorted by Publish Date.
However on the Home Page they are not.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi,
There is Enhancement Request on this problem created on Metalink (Bug 5571606) for about a year. It is marked as "Very desirable feature" but no info about when this desireable feature will be available. I asked Portal consultant at Oracle Services and was told, it depends on how many and how big customers would request this feature on behalf of their valid Support Contract.
So the only way I think is to create Service Requests on Metalink asking for patch.
I did in September 2006, what about you dear colleagues?
Regards Jiri Rohlicek

Sort Order Inconsistency Between iPhone OS and Mac OS

In any application (Address Book, Bento, Excel sheets, etc.), items are sorted alpha-numerically (letters followed by characters and numbers) on the iPhone, but they are sorted numero-alphabetically (characters and numbers followed by letters) in the Mac OS. It's just strange having an item called "123" in the first row of an app on the Mac, and then having to find it in the 179th row on the iPhone. I cannot find any information as to why Apple would not have both platforms do one or the other, to maintain consistency. (I think alpha-numeric is the most used.) Anyone have any clues?

what are you expecting to do with bluetooth between the devices?
you can't sync or transfer files or the likes between the 2 using bluetooth
would link to the apple support page about supported bluetooth profiles but they seem to have taken down the page

I had simmilar problems with a Plantronics headset. Compared to Nokia bluetooth headsets, Plantronics has a higher volume, which is good. The downside is that some alert tones are far too loud. My suggestion is to change the alert tone for SMS to "Beep" or something like this. I think you can even define an entire "Headset" profile with no tone at all for SMS. Hope this helps.

Any way to Restore Last Manual Sort Order or Prevent from being Overwritten accidentally?

     Help!
     I'm constantly accidentally overwriting painstakingly created manual sort ordering (sometimes hours but more often months of accumulated work) in folders with files numbering up to 1,000, when i, however breifly, switch to another sort ordering (size, date modified etc) to check something, immediately forget that i'm in another sort order, and, unthinkingly (actually i guess i'm thinking of a lot of other things) drag a file to another position, this immediately destroys any past manual sorting i've established, overwriting it with this new inadvertent manual ordering.
     I've tried CommandZ (edit undo) but that only undoes my last rating or labeling, i've rushed to force quit Bridge through the activity montior hoping i will catch it before its overwritten, but obviously i am not as fast as a computer, and i don't think this has ever worked.
Is there any way or any script someone has written to formally save a manual sort order? Is there anything i've missed to attempt restoring it? Has anyone, repeatedly foiled by this, written something that would give a warning and require confirmation say for instance, if i tried to drag or move a file while in another sort ordering (this seems like something that should have existed the minute the opportunity was given to create manual organization). Would anyone be willing to?
     Seriously, me forgetting almost every time isn't going to change and, more vexingly, it's even happened when i didn't mean to move anything but fumbled momentarily while in another sort order. I think most people might forget because (in the context of computing) we are conditioned to expect a warning if something we have just created is about to be written over or discarded, and since there is no option to formally save a manual ordering we have just created.
     Also, if this was in the real world, moving a single file would not reshuffle everything on your desk. If i had the option to formally save a manual organization i would NOT forget to do this and would use it, as i've wished for one every time spent a while rearranging files. Knowing how easily all the hours (much less months and years of cumulative work) of organizational work can be accidentally lost makes working within Bridge unpleasantly anxious.
      I'm literally willing to do anything including installing some sketchy 3rd-part scripts (though honestly i have no idea what that means or how to do it). I extentively use and rely heavily upon this function so this is a fairly serious Achille's heel. It's like watching your incredibly important meticulously constructed house of cards collapse with a careless but innocent sigh, or like having the equivelent of a not even charming cat dance across your keyboard during a live concert, etc etc....
     Also it is not usually appropriate, given the context, to batch rename everything to preserve a manual ordering w sequence numbers, etc. Often the filenames are considerably (but necessarily, to connote important differences) long already, and when i have to rearrange things in the future would have to do that each time, etc, etc, making for even more unwieldly filenames that didn't have any substantive information at the beginning. I'm looking for a way to make this function (manual sort ordering), well, more functional, secure and stable, the workarounds i've considered cause too many additonal problems.
     Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer, and as this is my first attempt to use the forums as i live on a boat with no regular net access, would appreciate any forum etiquette corrections, and advance apologies for any misspellings, dyslexic and spellcheck does not seem to work in this interface. next time will edit in external wordprocessing program beforehand,

     PS i'm on a 27" mac w CS4 Design Premium, w up to the minute OS (10.6.8) and Adobe software updates installed recently (i do not often move the monster but this week was housesitting w net access, so she has had all recommended shots and vaccinations....)
     PPS I know most of y'all might be running the newest and the latest of everything, but, i'm fairly certain this is still a problem in recent versions as this has happened to me at school where all the macs are running cs5. Though if it's been addressed somehow in cs6 would update entire suite just to fix this one problem in Bridge. I've tried many searches and found nothing relevant or wouldn't bother the considerable expertise and resources of an official forum, was extremely hesitant to ask (feared getting snapped at for unwittingly broaching forum etiquette) but it is truly the bane of my considerable Bridge existence, so was willing to risk the imaginary censure and opprobrium....

That is a good question, to do this requires two functions and a restart of Bridge all done automagically
Copy and paste the script into ExtendScript Toolkit
This gets installed with Photoshop and can be found:-
PC: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities
MAC: <hard drive>/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities
Start Bridge
PC: Edit - Preferences - Startup Scripts
Mac: Adobe Bridge menu - Preferences - Startup Scripts
At the bottom click the "Reveal Button" this will open the folder where the script should be saved.
Close and restart Bridge.
Accept the new script.
To use:
Tools - Backup Manual Sort
This will backup the hidden manual sort file .BridgeSort to .BridgeSortSave
Tools - Restore Manual Sort
This will copy the .BridgeSortSave back to .BridgeSort and will close and restart Bridge so that the manual sort is restored.
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
var backUpManSort = new MenuElement( "command","Backup Manual Sort", "at the end of Tools" , "backupms" );
var RestoreManSort = new MenuElement( "command","Restore Manual Sort", "at the end of Tools" , "restorems" );
backUpManSort.onSelect = function () {
var fileSort = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSort");
var fileSave = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSortSave");
if(fileSave.exists) fileSave.remove();
fileSort.copy(fileSave);
fileSave.hidden=true;
RestoreManSort.onSelect = function () {
var fileSort = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSort");
var fileSave = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSortSave");
if(!fileSave.exists){
alert("No backup file exists");
return;
app.document.sorts = [{ type:"string",name:"document-kind", reverse:false }];
if(fileSort.exists) fileSort.remove();
fileSave.copy(fileSort);
fileSort.hidden=true;
app.document.chooseMenuItem("mondo/command/new");
app.documents[0].close();
app.document.sorts = [{ name:"user",type:"date", reverse:false }];
Hope this works for you.

How to Control Sort Order of Playlists in iTunes?

As far as I can tell, somewhere along the way iTunes stopped sorting playlists alphabetically, numbers before letters, and started sorting playlists alphabetically, letters before numbers. Or at least that's how it now happens on my iPhone; I think the change happened with the iPhone 3.0 OS update.
Has anyone found a better way to set a sort order than by putting "AA" and "AAA" in front of the playlists they want to have at the top of the list? Because that's an awfully inelegant solution -- to my mind, if you have to use a prefix at all, using 01, 02 et cetera was a far better way of doing things. Is there a setting I can tick to go back to the old way? Or, better still, a way to set that sort order arbitrarily, independent of the playlists' names?
Message was edited by: Andrew Willett

If you label your favorite/priority playlists as A1, A2, A3...B1, B2, B3
Then they will sort the way you want (except on the iPod Classic which seems to have it's own sorting).

Sort order in Java application (oc4j container) -- ear file deployment

I have a Java application deploy in Oracle OC4J container (EAR file).
In my Java application (jsp), I have a SQL statement who return data but the
sort order is wrong. The letters "é" and all characters with accents
appears at the end of the result.
I tried many things to change the sort order (NLS parameters in database
and OAS10g parameter files).
When I use SQL*plus on database server, that's working.
The sort order is wrong when I use the java application.
Somebody can tell me what and where is the NLS parameters to change ?
Thanks
Robin

Robin,
I'm only guessing, but it could either be related to the java locale or the CHARSET attribute of the HTML header -- and nothing to do with the NLS parameters.
Maybe you should try the Globalization Support forum?
Good Luck,
Avi.

Sort order column with a between filter

Hi all,
[using OBI-EE version 10.1.3.3.1]
I've got a column 'BLOCK_ROW' which contains values A,B,C....AA,AB,AC...BA,BB...FK,FL
Alphabetically this orders A,AA,AB.... which is incorrect. The order should be A,B,C...
To be able to sort correctly we added a column 'ROW_SORT' to our model, which is numeric. This column is set as the 'sort order column' in the repository and makes sure the sorting is done correctly.
So far, so good...
Now, I want to be able to use a 'between' filter on this column, e.g. between 'A' and 'C'. Unfortunately this returns A,B,C,AA,AB... while I want it to return A,B,C.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Elio
Generated SQL:
select distinct T91353.BLOCK_ROW as c1,
T91353.ROW_SORT as c2
from
<table_name> T91353
where ( T91353.BLOCK_ROW between 'A' and 'C' )
order by c2
--> Sorting handled based on ROW_SORT, between filter not :(

That will only do the trick in this particular example. Between 'A' and 'AA' will fail again and only returns A and AA while it should return A..Z and AA.
Using extra filters is always possible but I'm looking for a more robust solution, which also allows for dashboard 'between' prompts based on this column.
A workaround I came up with is to add a calculated field which concats an '_' in front of the single 'digit' values. This results in: A,B,_C,.....,AA,AB....FL. This set can be ordered alphabetically and this will work for now.
In the future, however, it might happen that the order of the letters will completely change. In the datamodel this can be achieved by changing the order of the numbers in ROW_SORT.
Example dataset:
BLOCK_ROW | ROW_SORT
Q | 1
D | 2
F | 3
AA | 4
A | 5
The filter 'between D and AA' should then result in D,F,AA.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Elio

Order of Podcast updates in iPod sync

I'm not sure if this really belongs here or over in the iPod side, but it's podcast related. It's also a bug I can recreate easily, but I no longer know how to submit bug reports
I have my iTunes update only unplayed Podcasts to my iPod. And I thought for a long time this was working; I'd play podcast "foo", I'd update, and "foo" was gone from the Podcasts list on the iPod. But the other day, I noticed I had stale Podcasts listed in my Music->Genre->Podcast list on the iPod. So I poked at it again...and if I do a second sync immediately afterwards, it cleans those up. Which makes me think that the order is:
1) Update all tracks on iPod (probably also downloads played information and playcounts)
2) Update the podcast listing in iTunes with what has been played
3) Send list of Podcasts to iPod
Since the playcount is still 0 (or the played flag is off) in step 1, the podcasts are left there. Then since it's correct in #3, it doesn't list them. It seems like the correct order should be:
1) Download playcounts/played flags and update library
2) Update podcast listing in iTunes
3) Generate list of updated files to send to iPod; updated DB of playcounts, etc.
4) Update iPod tracks with results of #3
5) Update iPod Podcast listing.
Now, for me this is more odd than annoying (I have a 60G and am nowhere near filling it). But for someone with a 20G who syncs podcasts and then as much as possible from a playlist (I think you can do that), the extra stale podcasts mean less music. Any way to send this bug report in to Apple and hope for a fix for it in 6.0.3? I guess a valid workaround is to connect the iPod, let it update, then select file->update iPod and let it update again (I haven't tried that, but it should work).

This question is probably not going to get a lot of answers in the Printing Forum. Maybe the "Using Mac OS X Leopard" forum will offer some help.
